Exchange Asymmetry in Elastic Scattering of Electrons by Sodium Atoms

Abstract
Calculations of the exchange asymmetry in elastic scattering of electrons by sodium atoms are reported at incident electron energies of 10 and 54.4 eV. The close-coupling calculations are performed with the four lowest target states of the sodium atom. At 10 eV, the present calculations predict nearly pure singlet-state scattering and nearly pure triplet-state scattering at certain angles. At 54.4 eV, the theoretical results are compared with recent measurements. Qualitative agreement is obtained, although some discrepancy remains.
